lol, I kinda felt bad for the rest of the teams, everyone cheered so much for Canada.

I didn't really like the ceremony that much. Although, seeing fireworks on TV, then looking out my window to see them for real.

I wish I knew about the fireworks so I could've gotten pics of them..

..Even though it would've been in the rain, and I'm sick.

Just got back from downtown.

HOLY FUCK WHAT A GONGSHOW.

People fucking everywhere, yelling, screaming, honking. Basically just a party in the street, and everyone seemed fucking hammered, at leasts, that's what I thought, cause I was pretty drunk myself

What a good night, can't wait to head downtown again.

My point is that it was covered live on the BBC HD channel last night, and on BBC One ... so why can't I download it? I have to stream some shitty low resolution video on the iPlayer site.

It's not even SD, see:

Yeah, maybe in the future, but no chance for now... maybe they could offer a HD download, but streaming is still some way off

I get much better picture quality than that, it depends on your connection and also theirs. It automatically adjusts the bitrate etc.. depending on the connection.

... what are you talking about?

You can stream loads of HD stuff on iPlayer. Actually I'm not sure that it's 720p, probably something a little lower but still.

And an HD download would be just fine.

Hmm, I take some of that back. It looks a bit better when you don't use the "pop out" player.

Still, it's not great.

I don't remember seeing an option to stream HD stuff... for me it's always been a case of detecting the connection and automatically adjusting the bitrate. Sometimes the quality can be somewhere between SD and 720p, sometimes it can be youtube quality if things are going particularly shitty.

OK I found a button to make it bigger. Looks OK now.

Apparently I'm an iPlayer noob.

I was Downtown for like an hour last night, saw this one corner with 30 cops waiting to cross the street, looked like a fucking school field trip.

Kramer showed he's human, I was expecting better tbh.. Holy shit what a race by that Korean, caught me completely off guard..!

And a huuuuge surprise in the women's biathlon, Kuzmina picking up the win and Slovakia's 2nd Olympic medal all time. Dorin picking up bronze was also surprising.
